Exercise 1: Lay on your back on a flat surface on a floor mat and move your legs as if you are cycling. This workout is very affective for reducing abdominal fat. Do 3 sets of 5 minutes.
Exercise 2: Lay on your back on a flat surface on a floor mat and raise your legs such that they are vertical with the floor. Lift your hips in the air slightly, hold for 5-10 seconds. Do 5 sets of 15 reps.
Exercise 3: Lay on your back on a carpeted floor with your hands behind your head. Raise your upper body towards your knees. Hold for 2 seconds, then return to the starting position. Do 5 sets of 15 reps.
Exercise 4: Lay on your back on a flat surface on a floor mat with your hands behind your head. Contract your abdominal part. Hold for 2 seconds, then return to the starting position. Do 5 sets of 15 reps.
Exercise 5: Lay on your back on a carpeted floor with your hands behind your head. Put your feet on a bench or chair such that upper legs make a 90 degree angle. Lift your upper back off of the ground and contract your abdominal part.
Exercise 6: Lay on your back on a flat surface on a floor mat with your hands on sides of your back. Move your legs as if you are cycling. Do it for 5 minutes daily.
Exercise 7: Lay on your back on a flat surface on a floor mat with your hands on sides of your back. Curl your head up. Don't use any pressure from your arms to lift yourself. After some practice, start placing your hands gently to the sides of your head, when doing each curl up.
Exercise 8: Post natal Exercise: If your abdominal growth is after your delivery, you should alternately contract and relax the abdominal, pelvic and perineal muscles to strengthen them. For this pull in the abdomen as hard as you can and keep it 10 seconds before relaxing. You can do this contracting and relaxing exercise while sitting, lying, or standing.
